I had a teacher whose name was Miss Lee. But as a little kid only hearing the words I didn't realize that they were two words or where to separate them. When I went to spell her name I wrote Miss Sleep. At first I wrote Miss Slee, but slee wasn't a word, I thought, so I added a 'p'. Then I always called her Miss Sleep.

::sigh:: I miss those enchanted years of my youth.— Andrea Sorenson - I thought the word economical was actually two words: eek and omical.
